Thierry Henry might be a member of Julian Nagelsmann’s backroom staff if he becomes PSG’s manager this summer.
Since leaving Bayern Munich earlier this year, the German manager has been jobless, but he has been considered for positions at Chelsea and Tottenham.He is still available, though, and the French champions consider him a possible Christophe Galtier replacement.
Even though he won the Ligue 1 championship, he is expected to be fired after a year. Galtier is not an exception to the rule at PSG where managerial failure in Europe usually results in dismissal, making Nagelsmann perhaps the best candidate to take over with his support staff already being taken into consideration.
According to The Telegraph, Henry, who has never worked with Nagelsmann before, might be on the coaching staff in Paris. Henry previously served as a coach’s assistant with the Belgian national team and briefly served as the head coach of Monaco in Ligue 1.
Henry has a great deal of credibility as a player and has a good relationship with Kylian Mbappe, who would be happy to have him. The French superstar has been playing at Parc des Princes since 2017, and despite Real Madrid’s interest, the club is desperate to keep him for the long term.
Although there is no indication that Henry would want to work for Nagelsmann, it might give him a way back into management. But earlier this year, the legendary Arsenal player spoke out about Mbappe’s future and PSG.
Strong chemistry exists between Kylian Mbappe and Thierry Henry.
He stated in March that Mbappe might have to look for new opportunities if he wants to compete for top honors after another Champions League exit. “I think it is going to be difficult to keep him even if he stayed last summer,” he told CBS Sports. I’ll explain why I chose Barcelona over Arsenal.More than anything else, I enjoy competing. Although I adored Arsenal, I preferred competition.
“What is the plan?” he further asked the Parisian outfit. Who is this person? What philosophy is it? What do you hope to accomplish? I have frequently stated that there is a rift between the team and many former PSG fans. They nearly chose the previous Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG won the top division for the eleventh time this season, their ninth in eleven years, but their triumph was overshadowed by ongoing criticism of their team due to Lionel Messi’s departure and Neymar’s potential replacement. With just one final appearance in a decade, the millions spent have also failed to produce European success.
